In the latest Finance & Accounting As-a-Service Business Process Outsourcing Blueprint Report published by

Accenture strength in helping clients transform to “real-time enterprises” that are customer-centric and
agile.

Also noting Accenture’s traditional strength in consulting, the report added that Accenture “has better
leveraged this capability into its business operations through Business Advisors.”

HfS has also recognized Accenture for embedding analytics into its F&A offerings. The report noted that
Accenture topped all competitors in the number of contracts with embedded analytics.
